South Africa, a country rich in natural resources, such as diamonds and gold; diverse in culture and with a wild natural beauty, has a shameful history. Apartheid, invented by the Afrikaner National Party in the 1940s, created racial discrimination and segregation. In 1948, under apartheid laws, racial discrimination was institutionalised and 'race laws' spanned the entire country. Suddenly "white-only' areas and jobs existed and all people of colour were made to carry "pass books", containing all their biometrics, when entering a non-black area. The situation got progressively worse and in the late 70's, due to a lot of internal pressure, riots errupted. Finally, in February of 1990 then president, FW de Klerk, announced the release of Nelson Mandela and began to dismantle the apartheid system. In 1994 the very first multiracial, democratic elections were held. Nelson Mandela won the presidency and former president, FW de Klerk, and Thabo Mbeki were appointed as deputy presidents.
